I recommend a rigouorous testing of all available flavours to work out which is best for you SP
Ice Cream not authors, lol

Soberpotamus

Ha! Yes, of course, Dee. I'll need several to test, won't I?

I actually do the same with authors.

Well, with their books, not them.

That ice cream looks amazing :/

Brian is asking me whether I really want him to move out. I don't think he really wants to divorce, even though he says he does. It bothers me that it upsets him. It upsets me to imagine him totally gone.

At the same time, I realize we aren't happy. We're at odds; we're combative.

He has mentioned moving out and helping with the finances until I get squared away. I am surprised to hear this; I didn't expect it. And I am unsure if it's the way to do this. I appreciate the offer though.

He says he can be out in a few days if that's what I want.

I didn't think it would happen so fast.

I'm floored to see the actual cost of my surgery and hospitalization. I'm amazed really. I am so grateful for the insurance. It costs much more than what I'd imagined. I don't know how they get away with charging this much. How this country has evolved to allow for such exorbitantly priced medical procedures is a shame.

Dee74

It is astronomical for sure.

Do you think it's worth maybe trying some counselling for you and Brian, or is it past that SP?

venuscat

I'm glad you are covered for the surgery and hospitalization J. I know, it's shocking to see what they charge.

As for you and Brian ~ I think that perhaps a bit of counselling before you split up could help immeasurably. It can help you through the process I think, whatever you decide. ♥

(Just saw Dee's post...well, he has been a major influence for me for a lot of years now, and I'm glad that I might sometimes think along the same lines. ).

Soberpotamus

Yes, I do think it's worth it. In fact, a few years ago after I'd gotten sober, I asked him to come to therapy with me. I managed to get him there for once visit. And I'm ashamed to say it, but I ate him alive in there. I totally hadn't planned to do that. My therapist later told me I'd missed my calling to be an attorney. She thought it was funny. It was sad really.

So I don't expect he'll ever agree to that again.

Soberpotamus

I will ask him.

Soberpotamus

'Nope.' That was his answer.

I asked him why. Pretty much said that this is all my fault. Since I feel the way I do about things, there's no chance of saving the marriage. As per usual, it's all my fault. He takes zero responsibility, just as he's done all along.

I'm not heartbroken.

Soberpotamus

How about some good news?

I have a smidgen of feeling in the right side of my lower lip!!!!!



It's pretty awesome it returned this early. Six weeks is early. Some people wait months and months. I worried my age might put me at a slight disadvantage.

trachemys

Your age puts you at a disadvantage for nothing. OK?

Your face will heal.

******** will fade away.

All is as it should be for your future.

trachemys

Seems the autocensor is at work.

That Richard will fade away.

Taking the dogs down to the Riverwalk for a while. Nice weather today, temp in the 70s. Taking my camp chair and some books.

venuscat

That's awesome news!

Hope you had a nice time love.

Soberpotamus

We're still here. Brian has Lucy on the kayak. I'm on land, reading and chatting via text with a buddy.

I'm planning lasagna for dinner. I can blend it easily.

Wonder if I can blend up a salad?

SoberLeigh

Blending a salad doesn't sound very appetizing, Potamus.

SoberLeigh

How is your chin feeling?
